What is the definition of static equilibrium?
Consider 'resting' conditions in mechanics.
List two characteristics of a two-force member.
Think about how forces are arranged.
What characterizes static equilibrium?
Think about forces opposing each other.
D'Alembert's Principle is used to:
Keep in mind the connection between motion and static force concepts.
Given a two-force member with a tension of 10N and a compression of 10N, calculate the resultant force and explain the state of the member.
Consider how these forces interact.
For a slider-crank mechanism, derive the piston acceleration given a crank distance of 0.2m, an angular velocity of 10 rad/s, and a crank angle of 30 degrees.
Don’t forget to convert your angle to radians when substituting into the equations.
